The Man Who Knew Infinity is a poignant and inspiring biographical drama film from Britain, directed by Matthew Brown. The film tells the incredible story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a brilliant mathematician from India who travels to England in the early 20th century to work with renowned mathematician G. H. Hardy. The film explores Ramanujan's struggles to gain recognition for his groundbreaking work in mathematics, as well as his personal and cultural challenges as an outsider in a foreign land. One of the standout features of the film is its lead performances by Dev Patel as Ramanujan and Jeremy Irons as Hardy. Both actors deliver powerful and nuanced portrayals of their respective characters, capturing the emotional complexity and intellectual brilliance of the mathematicians. The film's direction and cinematography are also noteworthy, capturing the beauty and intensity of the mathematical ideas explored in the film. Overall, The Man Who Knew Infinity is a moving and inspiring film that celebrates the power of human intelligence and perseverance.

Throughout his life, Ramanujan was plagued by health problems. His health worsened in England. A 1994 analysis of Ramanujan's medical records and symptoms by Dr. D. A. B. Young concluded that it was much more likely he had hepatic amoebiasis, an illness then widespread in Madras, rather than tuberculosis. He had two episodes of dysentery before he left India. When not properly treated, dysentery can lie dormant for years and lead to hepatic amoebiasis. Amoebiasis was a treatable and often curable disease at the time.
In Good Will Hunting (1997) when Stellan Skarsgård is trying to convince Robin Williams to take on Matt Damon he compares him to Srinivasa Ramanujan as an example of his extraordinary ability.
When Ramanujan is leaving, Hardy mentions he took a cab with an uninteresting number: 1729. Ramanujan says that 1729 is interesting because it is the smallest integer that can be summed by two cubes of positive integers in two different ways. The integers and the sums are 1 and 12, and 9 and 10. (1 + 1728, and 729 + 1000). At the end of the movie, Hardy chooses to take (another? the same?) cab, with the number plate "CE1729". (In real life, the exchange between Hardy and Ramanujan took place in Ramanujan's hospital room.)
When Littlewood and Ramanujan enter the quadrangle in Trinity College, Littlewood points to the tree from which Newton's apple [supposedly] fell. But this incident, if true, most likely did not occur at Cambridge, which had been closed for a semester due to an outbreak of bubonic plague. Instead, it would have occurred at Newton's mother's farm, where he spent the semester.
Ramanujan married Janaki (Janakiammal) in July 1909 when she was only 10 years old. Janaki stayed in her maternal home till she was twelve and then Janaki and Ramanujan's mother came to live with him in Madras.
"Littlewood: Don't be intimidated. Great knowledge comes from the humblest of origins."
"G.H. Hardy: There are no proofs nor underlying laws that can determine the outcome of matters of the heart. Of that I'm sure."
